From the mouth of the Murray Basin east to the Victorian border and beyond is the vast flat plain, not much above sea level, that is called by South Australians ‘The Great South East’. In vineyard terms it is called the Limestone Coast. This plain included notable vineyard districts like Coonawarra and Padthaway and lesser districts like Robe and Lucindale.
Being adjacent to the great Southern Ocean the coolness this creates tempers the inland heat and creates the interesting wines of Coonawarra. Vineyard districts that make similar, to identical styles, such as those mentioned, can be purchased at far lower prices. That is the source of the wine making up this Terrene Estates Shiraz though over 50% is Padthaway fruit.
Terrene is a medieval English term that is suggestive of the French term terroir, for origin. Glug is attracted to wines that meet our quality terms yet are from unknown districts since we can buy them at lower prices. So expect high quality at a fair price.
